New Mexico Owners BS Thread

thanks!

yea if i read the thread right

tuesday as in tomorrow??

 

yar. Doing the rear one. Unsure when I'm doing the front one. Will talk it over with Silas tomorrow. 5pm. A 3rd set of hands will be mighty helpful. I'm running out here to pick up some brake fluid and a couple work lights and groceries and shit...

 

ill be there, and i can pick up my box of goodies as well

 

cool! hopefully it'll go smooth and only take a couple of hours.

 

does anyone know the desired numbers for alignment with LR UCAs? getting my OME kit installed tomorrow with alignment at Desert Rat. i would like to be able to give them some lead way that would help them out with the alignment. thanks!

 

1st Gens nirvana is supposed to be 0* toe, 0* camber and 2.4* caster. Don't know if it is the same or different for 2nd Gen.

I was told by the guy at Desert Rat when I had mine they they like a little toe-in. They couldn't give me the final numbers because their printer is borken.

Next time I get my alignment done I'm trying Chet's.

 

yeah i read a different thread and OZ-T said for 2nd gen its 3 caster 0 toe 0 camber. desert rat gave me a quote of 440 installation with alignment that i couldnt pass up. i plan to buy the life time alignment at firestone one of these days so thats fine if i cant get the final numbers if their printer is still broken...

 

4.56 is the only difference. I had an e-locker before. Have to swap the actuator and fork to the new 3rd.

The fun one will be the front one. Have to take out the CVs, remove the old 3rd and swap over the ADD.

 

Somewhere in here I need to fire off an email to ECGS to ask them why the pre-2005 Tacos require a double drilled flange. The one on there now is single drilled. Wonder if it has something to do with the specific pinion.

 

I've hung out around glade run off road park before. Trails/sand and if you get to the west end of the park you will find the rocks. I saw a few jeep based buggies when I was there. I didn't follow because I was still open/open and waiting for the wife to finish up a test.

 

My cb setup just shipped!! Hoping it will get here so I can install it this weekend.

 

The legends are TRUE!!!

Rain is REAL!

 

We were out working in the garage when the wet stuff fell. Was amazed.

Silas, Scott and Gian helped me get the new rear 3rd installed. Have to work out when to do the front.

it only lasted for like 2 mins though

i mean, i was the expert supervisor

 

Your dedication and sacrifice was moral support to us!

Naw, it was really good just to hang out and hear what you been up to. Glad you surfaced. Don't go silent running anymore, mkay?

 

Tomorrow I'm meeting up with Silas at his place to install the front diff at 8am followed up with replacing his UCA bushings. Help including moral support is welcome.

Monday, the 20th I'm working at my place to get the compressor installed. Most likely starting around 10am. PM me if you might stop by.

 

and LCA bushings. but yeah, help is welcomed

 

I texted Scott deets but haven't heard back. Hopefully he can make it, big help he was.

 

kewl, kewl. btw, I also have a compressor, so Scott doesn't have to bring one.
